We offer virtual therapy from the comfort of your home. This makes therapy convenient and easy to access.

Please note that sessions cannot be conducted in public settings or while in a moving vehicle. If this occurs, your therapist will need to end the session and you will be responsible for the full session fee, as insurance requires sessions to meet privacy and safety standards in order to be billable.

Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form or email us to schedule a call—we’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.

We combine a thoughtful, compassionate approach tailored to meet your specific needs. Our expert therapists are here to help you reach your goals and live your best life.

Our therapists will help guide you with an approach that feels collaborative and tailored to your specific needs.

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know you and understand what has brought you to therapy.

During this session, your therapist will conduct a full biopsychosocial assessment, which means we will ask a range of questions to better understand your life experiences, background, and current concerns. This may include topics that might not naturally come up right away, but help us gain a more complete picture so we can best support you.

Together, you will begin identifying goals and determining what direction feels most helpful moving forward. It is also a space for you to ask questions and get a sense of whether the therapist feels like the right fit for you.

You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email. We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.

Yes! We are in network with Northwell Direct insurance. This means if you are insured by Northwell Direct, you will only be responsible for your copay.

If you have insurance other than Northwell Direct, we are able to bill as out of network providers, offering a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

Clients come in with different goals. Some prefer short-term therapy and some prefer long-term. Your therapist will check in with you on an ongoing basis to make sure you are working towards those goals together in a way that works for you.

Our therapists typically meet with clients on a weekly basis, unless financial concerns or treatment goals indicate otherwise. Consistency helps build momentum and allows for deeper progress. Over time, session frequency can be adjusted depending on your needs and goals.

We ask that you give us 48 hours notice for cancellations and rescheduling requests to avoid being charged for the session. The late cancellation fee is $150.
